These variables _are_ included in the documentation.  Just look at
(info "(auctex)Font Locking").  If this is not clear enough, please
make a suggestion for improving it.

I adapted the doc string of these variables which now says (taking
`font-latex-match-reference-keywords' as an example):

  "List of keyword strings for reference face.
Each string has to be the name of a macro omitting the leading backslash."

Does that make it clear to you what you have to insert in your init
file for changing such a variable?

I don't think it would be a good idea to add a setq example for each
variable into the manual.  Somebody accustomed with editing an init
file should be able to find the doc string or extract the necessary
information from the manual and know how to construct such a list.
